- Extremely pleased by the news that #NASA HQ in Washington DC will be named after Mary W. Jackson, the first African American woman engineer at NASA! nasa.gov/press-release/…. #MaryJackson #hiddenfigures2020
- Space exploration imagination and reality come full circle. @levarburton directed this episode of #startrek Next Gen 'Second Chances' in which I appeared. @NichelleIsUhura came to the set. #Lookup #Apollo #100YSS
00:00 - Woke this VERY STRANGE morning with an unexpected refrain repeating in my mind - “Until such time as the world ends, I will act as though it intends to spin on.” (Nick Fury, Avengers). I’m personally committed to build a better world for all. #Election2020
- #CountdownToMars begins tomorrow, bright and early! Join me. I'll be live Tweeting the launch...with a big mug of coffee. Tap the button below for a reminder when @NASA goes live.
- I’ve been in space. I’d go to Mars. I work on capabilities for human interstellar travel. But space is not a plan B for Earth #ParisAccord
- I Was the First Woman of Color in Space. Here’s What Katherine Johnson Means to Me. #HiddenFigures #katherinejohnson #maejemison #NASA
- Excited to be part of such a great group of women @LegoNASAWomen @LEGOIdeas @20tauri And even more jazzed about women in STEM!
- Thank you Dr. Biden @FLOTUS for recognizing of #WomeninScience Day. Over the years I’ve learned not to limit others to the limits of my imagination. So many worldwide benefits await when the talents & potential of women are unleashed.On #WomenInScience Day, I’m thinking of Dr. Mae Jemison – the first Black woman in space. She pushes us to believe we are capable of more than we know: “I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others' limited imaginations.”
- This is not #democracy. Storming and breaching the US Capital to stop constitutionally mandated action to enact the results of the legal, certified votes of the decisive majority of US citizens is unconscionable, dangerous, anti-American and #sedition.
- Today demands we take pride not only in reaching the sky, but also sustained heights of decency, truth, compassion and justice for all, now! #WeStandWithYou #icantbreathe
- #Juneteenth recognizes & celebrates Black people’s freedom and the end of slavery in the US! 19 Jun 1865 Union Army General issued orders to free enslaved people in the retaken confederate territory of Texas 2 years after Lincoln signed the #EmancipationProclamation 1 Jan 1863.
- #NASAPerseverance landed on surface of Mars. Getting telemetry and images. It’s not magic, it perseverance, calculation, ingenuity and daring. Congratulations.
